    Yes, LLMs are stupid and they steal your creative creations. There is some real room for machine learning (something that has been just all combined into “AI” now for some reason), like Nvidia’s DLSS technology for example. Or other fields where the computer has to operate in a closed environment with very strictly defined parameters, like pharmaceutical research. How proteins fold is strictly governed by laws of physics and we can tell the model exactly what those laws are.

    But it is funny how all the hundreds of billions $$$ invested into LLMs in the West, along with big government support and all the “smartest minds” working on it, they got beaten by the much smaller and cheaper Chinese competitors, who are ACTUALLY opensourcing their models. US tech morons got owned on their own terms.

      Even LLMs have some decent uses, but you put the finger on what I am feeling, that all of AI and machine learning is being overshadowed by these massive investments into LLMs, just because a few ghouls sniff profit
